Construction Site Security Construction Leads in Austin (2026): 4,912 Projects in the Award Window
To find site security construction leads in Austin, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 4,912 permitted projects in the City of Austin were still at the point where site security is awarded. The general contractor or developer buys site security as part of mobilization: fencing, cameras, guards and access control come out of the site setup budget, and lenders or insurers often require them. Builtie reads the permits, estimates each project's stage and attaches the builder or general contractor with a verified decision maker.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
How many site security projects are open in Austin right now
| Measure | Austin |
|---|---|
| Projects in the site security award window | 4,912 |
| New buildings / renovations and alterations | 4,621 / 0 |

Only new construction is counted for site security, because renovations rarely need it. Because site security is bought early, the 3,999 projects permitted in the last 90 days are the ones to call first; 81% of the count is that recent. Austin ranks 2 of 25 markets Builtie covers for site security, behind New York City (5,179 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when site security is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $10k of site security work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.

What the Austin data covers
Austin files separate permits for each trade and names the contractor on each. It states a construction cost on only about 7% of permits, so Builtie publishes counts for Austin but no dollar totals. The job-size filter needs a stated cost, so Austin's trade counts are also the least filtered of any city.
If you work from Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown and San Marcos, Builtie shows you this feed as your nearest covered market; those cities' own permits are not in the count above.
